This isn't an isolated incident as many PlayStation 5 players are reporting similar issues in the title. At the same time, it doesn't seem to affect everyone as others have reported.

Considering the latest graphical upgrades introduced with Verdansk in Season 3, those are likely causing problems as last-minute optimizations might not have been made.

At the time of writing, we cannot confirm whether the issue has been affecting the players on the new Pro version of the console as well. The developers have yet to acknowledge the issue.

If previous update schedules are something to go by, fans should expect a fix for the FPS issues in the coming days.
